Preparing leaders of tomorrow to drive the organisation
Context
Cosumar, a multinational company in sugar industry in Africa (Morocco), celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2019.
To celebrate this anniversary, a programme called 'Impulse 90' has been initiated, a project aimed at launching 90 initiatives to support change in the company and its culture.
Following this move, the Group HR Director announced the launch of a 'Leader@25' program to identify the company's future leaders and support them in their new role.
These growing leaders will be in charge of leading some of the transversal initiatives of the Impulse 90 project.
Wemanity was asked to support acquisition of a new stance, new values and a new culture for the leaders of tomorrow and to guide them step by step in this cultural shift and give them the tools they need to succeed and embody change in a sustainable way.
